Learning curve

application in clinical practice. I conducted experiments using eye tracking and used acoustic analysis to evaluate participant responses. There were many steep learning curves, and these challenges motivated me to become a proficient consumer of the current research and therapy techniques in the field. I also was a mentor in a service-learning project, Finding the Words, which involved working with a client with acquired aphasia in writing a personal book…

Studying is one of those things that each person does differently. In my past I have found that I work best with diagrams and pictures for studying since I am a very visual learner. I have also used list and steps or rewriting my notes to help me study. In classes like anatomy and microbiology; diagrams, pictures, and videos have always helped me study processes or steps. Science classes happen to be most of my classes since I am a nursing major so I am using diagrams a lot. When I am taking my…

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulder of giants”, the quote by Isaac Newton resonates my journey to realising the understated power of collaborative learning. Two experiences that were a highlight of my undergraduate degree were my involvement with Mosaic Fusion Forums, an outreach program that celebrates diversity, and Business-One UNSW, a student-run consulting and professional services group. Both these experiences allowed me to see how people with a diverse range of…

things. From learning skills like violin and tennis to learning new concepts in school like the tectonic plates in Geography, I try my best to master everything I set out to learn. The mentality to constantly strive for the best results shaped the ways I learned various things. I am resilient when faced with obstacles during the process of learning different skills and topics, but I do sometimes take shortcuts to achieve perfection. These shortcuts often come in the form of temporary learning…

1961; Goolkasian & Woodberry, 2010). Priming effects can be seen outside ambiguous figures. For example, priming via environment, wet or dry, leads to participants recalling words better when learning and recall occurred in the same environment…

For me education and learning haven’t always been something I enjoyed. Some of it was good while some of those moments were horrible. Three of my biggest learning experiences were learning to read and write, going back to study and learning to accept myself. It’s these learning experiences that have changed me and affected the way I feel about learning. Learning to read and write with my sister are some of my fondest memories they also helped make me who I am today. I was roughly 4 or 5 years…

percent of the schools in the country have access to the internet, and the ratio of student-to-computer has greatly decreased to 4:1(Kress 2011). Computer use has become an increasingly vital part of academia. Computers have become integrated into the learning process in academic institutions. These devices have increasingly become more and more important not only to the professors and staff, but they are becoming crucial for student’s success. Most university require the access to computers in…

to do it, the idea that our college thinks we are just now going to learn how to think for ourselves shocks me! I’m appalled college is considered the turning point in where we start to learn how to question, argue, and explore a topic rather than learning mere answers. It didn’t take long for us to hear it at my high school. Time after time the words a hurricane swirling around the classroom, “I am teaching you how to think, not what to think.” On a less critical note, I did learn to appreciate…

The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals and some machines. Progress over time tends to follow learning curve. It does not happen all at once, but builds upon and is shaped by previous knowledge. To that end, learning may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of factual…
